Hagerstown Community College has signed an agreement with internationally known author Nora Roberts to create the Nora Roberts Writing Institute at HCC. The first session is Aug. 2 and 3, with keynote speakers Sylvia Day, New York Times best-selling author, and critically acclaimed author Erica Bauermeister. Participants will learn the fundamentals from professionals in more than 15 breakout sessions. The retreat is for beginning and aspiring writers with interest in a wide range of genres. There also will be a young writers institute, with breakout sessions for students entering grades 10 through 12. Roberts, a Washington County, Md., resident, has written more than 200 novels.
